Respuesta :

4.475 or 4 19/40 gallons

How?

12.65=253/20

253/20= 12 13/20

////////

I need a similar denominator of 12 13/20 and 17 1/8.

12 13/20×2/1= 12 26/40

17 1/8×5= 17 5/40

17 5/40-12 26/40= 4 19/40

Therefore,

the answer is 4 18/40 gals

Answer:

4 19/20                      

Step-by-step explanation:

17 1/8 - 12 13/20 = 4 19/20
